_________________________

As one of the four great gods Apollo, Hermes, Hecate and Aphrodite, choose a team of four mighty warriors to fight for you in the Powerplay tournament to prove who is the greatest. This battle will be fought out not using swords or knives, but with knowledge - gameplay takes the form of a complex quiz on a chess-like board.

You have four playing pieces, which start off arranged as a cross in one corner of the isometrically-viewed board. The squares are split into four different colours, which each represent a particular broad Trivial Pursuit-style subject area. The question has four possible answers, and a correct answer allows you to move your piece one space, perhaps onto one of the four white teleport squares (which randomly places it on one of those four squares).

When a piece lands on the same square as an opposition piece, a challenge ensues, which plays out like a quiz show, with questions asks in quick fire and the first player to answer gaining a point if right and losing one if wrong. The losing piece drops down a skill level.

Once a piece reaches 25 Wisdom Points, it can mutate up a skill level - this makes it harder to beat, but makes the questions it faces harder.

Description from the packaging:

The game of the Gods.
The Stunningly original quiz game for one to four players that transforms you and your opponents into mighty Greek Gods. You control four powerful warriors fighting to the death within the Temple of Apollo. To guide your warriors through the battle you must demonstrate your powers of wisdom by correctly answering questions posed during the game. To eliminate your opponents' warriors you must force them into a 'challenge'- where their strength and agility will be tested to the limit in battlegrounds from the heights of Mount Olympus to the very depths of Hades. To win the game you must prove your leadership as even the best hand-picked warriors can have a will of their own.
Positively alive with action, Powerplay comes with over 2,000 questions and is beautifully illustrated in colorful 3D graphics.
Can you become the wisest and most powerful God of all?
